PUMPKIN SPICE MAGIC BAR

Category: Bars

1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 oz softened cream cheese
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cashews
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Caramel ice cream topping to drizzle

Preheat oven to 350. Place melted butter and graham cracker crumbs into a bowl; mix to combine. Press into the bottom of mini cheesecake cups. Bake for 8 minutes then remove from oven.

In a bowl beat the pumpkin, softened cream cheese, sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Spoon evenly over each graham cracker crust, about 2 small spoonfuls. Next layer chocolate chips evenly over pumpkin layer following with cashews, coconut and condensed milk. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove and let cool. (Before bars completely cool, take a plastic knife and run around edges to loosen. It becomes very sticky and difficult to remove from the cups if you do not loosen.)

Once cooled, carefully remove from cups and arrange onto serving tray. Drizzle with warm caramel and serve.
